    You've got a great idea started. It could definatly work. Maybe Ebay has some flyball and agility equiptment? I know some of it you can make... you can just do a google search on it.

    Wish you lots of luck!!

    Yeah if you (or someone you know) is good at making things, it probably wouldn't be too hard to make some of the equiptment. An A-frame, maybe, or the weave poles, or the pause box wouldn't have to be anything too special- wouldn't card board work for practices?

    I did see a "beginner's" agility set at a local pet store for $70, but I'm pretty sure that it would mainly be for home use...but here's a website I found:

    It still looks expensive to me, but I'm no expert , I just wanted to help out since it seems like a good idea.

    I am unsure about flyball equipment. But Agility equipment all varies. tunnels can cost anywhere from 50-150, same with chutes. and weaves about 40-100. I dont really know about the other equipment for buying... I made my tire, jumps, teeter, walk, & a-frame(and painted ) I quess it wasnt to hard, but it is worth it because I use all of it almost everyday during summer!
    Hope that might help--- You could also go on different websites and compare prices

    Hey have you got a Border Collie! I have my own flyball team almost! I have 3 and a Poodle because you cant have ALL Border Collies
    I thought about starting a team too and agility. I have the room, just dont live in Canada like you. That would of been fun though.

    hey..... well Zoey and T.j show in agility and so we HAD to have equiment to practise on. For the tunnel i bought a little kids tunnel and it fit zoey and t.j perfect. for the weave poles, tetter totter, tire, table, a frame, and jumps my dad made them and i have no idea how. He got instruction on how to build it online. Chute are really easy. All you need is one of those blue barrels, cut of ends, and stable a sheet around it. Hope it helped a little bit
    Thanks so much Ashley for the siggy!
